Ummmmmmm so as it turns out, you should probably try to get acquainted with the ice after a year of not being on it (and not being any good to start) before jumping into learning “moves” like weaving your legs and doing “dips” (like squatting and gliding at the same time for no reason whatsoever). I think the first move should be learning how to stop, and they tried to teach me, they really did. It just uhh didn’t take. First of all, you have to slide your foot out and actually scrape the ice. Which involves taking the weight off one foot. See, now, that’s not really gonna work because I’m too afraid I’m going to fall over. And I DID. TWICE. RAAAA. Even when I got up the confidence I couldn’t do it :’( I’m going to try really really hard next time! I WILL conquer this. I can see myself being all cool on the ice, I just have to actually, er, get there.

Also, the ice rink is a really long walk, so I get to listen to my audiobooks on the way there. Hell yeah.
